projects he has been responsible for include the detailed design of the heating system in a highly serviced university laboratory. This included a district heating system, air source heat pumps, underfloor heating and large amounts of heat recovery from the atria space. Cohen introduced an innovative product that is used to reduce the commissioning time of the heating system, thus saving money for the client. His Renewables Feasibility Report for two mental


health hospitals was also very well received and is now used as a standard within the company.
